Erotica with a Southern Accent (anthology) Just so you know, these folks accepted a short story of mine a few months ago. I was in touch with them earlier this week and ask if the original December deadline had been extended (it has) and whether it was okay for me to post the news. Here's their reply.
Yes, Piper (McCall - ed) officially "extended" the deadline, but I must tell you that we were pressed by Erotica Readers to list a deadline. Anthologies are difficult to do that with, because we are at the mercy of getting quality submissions.
Please, by all means, pass along our information. We appreciate it!
The "no-no" list doesn't mention GLBT or any of the variations but I have no idea how open they might be. FWIW, I'm a little put-out that the list includes incest and beastiality. Speaking as a natural-born southerner, writing an erotic story with a "southern accent" that couldn't include family fun and/or a stump-broke mule was a real challenge. :wink:

Sweet Tea and You: Erotica with a Southern Accent
Editor: Piper McCall
Publisher: Sensorotika Press
Deadline: April 21, 2008
Release date: August 2008
We are in hot pursuit of authors, new and published, who would like to contribute stories to our second anthology, Sweet Tea and You: Erotica with a Southern Accent. Stories should be set in the Southern USA-we're talking the Bible Belt-however, we will consider stories told from the perspective of a traveling southerner as long as the story maintains its southern flavor. We prefer southern characters, but northern visitors and northern transplants are allowed to get involved in the action also.
Although we enjoy stories that offer a good toe curling experience, this shouldn't be the main goal of your story. Stories should involve more than a lengthy narrative of steamy sex scenes with the "Wham, bam thank you ma'am" effect. Intriguing characters and plots are like foreplay to us, so bring it on.
Our anthology will be offered in both print and e-book format.
Submission Guidelines:
Almost anything goes, but not everything. We will not consider pedophilia, necrophilia, scat, snuff, anything that has to do with enemas, golden showers, incest, nonconsensual sex, bestiality and clichés.
We accept multiple submissions-maximum 4 stories.
Maximum length up to 7,500 words
We accept submissions via email only. Please do not send links to web URLs.
Please send file in acceptable format (.rtf or .txt). We do not accept .doc files. Read submission guidelines carefully. Not following guidelines will result in stories not being read. Formatting details and submission guidelines at:
